The tender offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 30, 2015, unless extended.

The company will only purchase up to $1,000,000,000 aggregate purchase price of the Debentures in the tender offers, and the amount of each series of Debentures that will be purchased will be determined in accordance with the Acceptance Priority Levels set forth above and may be prorated as described in the Offer to Purchase. In addition, the aggregate principal amount of the 4.479% Debentures due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) that may be purchased is subject to a maximum tender amount of $250,000,000 as described in the Offer to Purchase. Because the principal amount of the 2021 Notes tendered already exceeds such maximum tender amount, any 2021 Notes that are purchased after applying the aggregate purchase price limitation and the Acceptance Priority Levels will be prorated.

The settlement date is expected to be one business day following the expiration of the tender offers. Payments for Debentures purchased will include accrued interest up to, but not including, the settlement date.

The consummation of the tender offers is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions, including the financing condition, set forth in the Offer to Purchase. Any tendered Debentures not accepted will be promptly returned to the tendering parties.

ADM has retained Barclays Capital Inc., BofA Merrill Lynch, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as lead dealer managers, and D.F. King & Co., Inc. as the tender and information agent for the tender offers.
